SmartRugby

Smart Rugby is the Australian Rugby Union’s mandatory accreditation
requirement for all coaches and referees of tackle variants of the game
of rugby union. The Smart Rugby
program can now be completed entirely online, whether you are completing
the course for the first time, or are reaccrediting your Smart Rugby
qualification. This also allows coaches to complete the course in their
own time.

The Smart Rugby program focuses on safe practices in the game and has
been a major contributor to the reduction of injuries in the modern
game. Latest statistics show that in the Junior levels of the game now
(U12 and below), there are just 6 injuries per 1,000 athletic exposures
to further illustrate the impact Smart Rugby has had in injury
reduction. The Smart Rugby accreditation lasts 2 years.
